A picturesque lake in Bau. No activities are allowed here due to high level of Arsenic content in the water.

Fairy Caves...

Inside Fairy Cave

Fairy Cave is about 5 Km south of Bau. It's quite a large, elevated cave. There's a massive concrete walkway that leads to the entrance, which is 30m above the ground. As you climb the steep and slippery steps/stairs, you'll enter a grotto, which is formed by the collapse of the cave roof. Here, this place has been used by some Chinese as a shrine for worshipping purposes.

One of the few obstacles to Mt. Singai Summit

Well, not really a danger thing. It's just one of the obstacles along the way to Mt. Singai summit. A little climbing skills might be needed.

Cloudy & cool Mount Singai.  Very nice...!!!

Favorite thing: Went up to Mount Singai again this morning with a friend. Unbelievable, we were in the middle of cloud when we're near the summit of the mountain. It's really cool and nice. Feels like you're in one of those highlands. Hehe...
